Pasta will appear after approximately 3 minutes. Cut to desired length and toss with a small amount of flour. Cook in a large pot of salted water for 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add asparagus, season with ¼ teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring until asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set asparagus aside.
Add another tbsp. of butter, season salmon with ¼ teaspoon of salt, add salmon, and cook for 4 minutes, flip and cook another 3 to 5 minutes or until light pink throughout. Remove from pan and set aside, flake with a fork.
Add remaining butter to pan with garlic and tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently for 30 seconds to one minute. Add crushed tomatoes, and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Stir in cream, fresh basil and sugar.
Add pasta, asparagus and salmon to pan with sauce. Serve with additional basil and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
Use homemade pasta, or use 1lb of your favourite shape (penne or bowtie would be great here as well).
If you have leftover salmon, feel free to use that.
